Bless You Boys

The 2022 season for the Detroit Tigers has already featured more injuries than we can ever remember in a season, and it’s not even June. The club had some good news on several players making progress toward a return to action over the past two days, but dropped another injury bombshell on Thursday afternoon. Right-hander

Mea culpa. Despite my best efforts to completely decimate the Detroit Tigers rotation, Tarik Skubal survived my jinx and is set to make his next scheduled start after getting drilled by a line drive, just with an extra day of rest in between. A week later, Skubal will get his second straight shot against the

Toledo Mud Hens 3, Nashville Sounds 2 (box) It was a short outing from starter Joey Wentz on Wednesday, but the bullpen picked him up and the Hens walked off Nashville in the end. The Sounds struck immediately against Wentz, using a leadoff walk, a single, and a ground out to push across the game’s

A hard fought and truly frustrating game finally broke the Tigers way late as Jeimer Candelario pumped a two-run shot in the 10th inning to carry them to a 4-2 victory. Tigers short starter, Rony Garcia, lived dangerously in the early innings. A two-out double in the bottom of the first from Carlos Correa was

The Tigers will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of Minnesota this afternoon after two disappointing losses in the Twin Cities. I’m going to be honest, it’s pretty late when I’m writing this so I’m going to make it quick and efficient, which apparently is how the Tigers are losing games. The Tigers

Nashville Sounds 6, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (F/11)(box) Matt Manning’s rehabilitation start in Toledo did not go well. After a strong first inning in which the big right-hander struck out the side and showed some pretty good breaking balls, he was yanked with two outs in the second after throwing 30 pitches in the inning.

After a tough loss on Monday night in which the Tigers battled back to tie the game, only to lose it in the bottom of the ninth, Detroit meekly lost to the Twins in the second game of the series 2-0. The pitching matchup featured Beau Brieske, making the sixth start of his major-league career,

The Detroit Tigers were unable to take the opener against the Minnesota Twins on Monday night in the first of a three-game midweek set in the Twin Cities. Down early after Elvin Rodriguez struggled in the opening frame of his first major league start, the Motor City Kitties fought back valiantly but ultimately fell short,

The Tigers got in a deep hole early in this one, but fought their way back to a deadlock before losing it in the bottom of the ninth 5-4 in Minnesota. The Tigers had their chance to open the game on a good note and get their rookie starter some breathing room, but it didn’t

The Tigers have been a streaky team as of late, but Sunday’s outing shows they can still swing it against some of the best competition the division can offer. Backing Alex Faedo’s solid outing, the team put up four runs in a much-needed victory against Shane Bieber and the Guardians. For the first time in

Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Garrett Hill’s Triple-A debut went ok, but the Hens offense was quiet and the bullpen ultimately melted down in the seventh as Indy won going away. Hill tossed five innings, allowing three runs, two earned, and struck out five. He actually no-it Indy through four innings, though

The Tigers got their rookie starter, Alex Faedo, some early runs and responded to each push from Cleveland with good defense and some timely hits to split the two games in Cleveland with a 4-2 victory on Sunday afternoon. For once, the Tigers got on board first in a game. Robbie Grossman got his 2021

The Detroit Tigers are back on the schneid again after dropping the final two games against the Tampa Bay Rays during the week, then falling in the opening game of a weekend road series Friday night against the newly-minted Cleveland Guardians, 6-1. Tarik Skubal took a line drive to his shin, knocking him out of

The Tigers are basically out of starters, after Tarik Skubal limped off the field when a comebacker nailed him in the leg. Not a great way to start a 15-game stretch between the same two division rivals over the coming weeks. If you’re counting, that’s six starters who have been injured in some capacity, and

For the better half of the past decade, it has felt like no team has tormented the Detroit Tigers more than Cleveland. The winds of change are active with the team’s rebranding, however, so perhaps the Guardians era will bring about some better fortunes for a Tigers squad that can use any help it can

Toledo Mud Hens 4, Indianapolis Indians 2 (Gm 1)(F/7)(box) The Mud Hens evened the series at a game apiece in Game 1 of Thursday’s doubleheader. However, that was not at all on anyone’s mind when Matt Manning had to come out of the game in the third inning. It turned out that Manning was ill

Toledo Mud Hens vs. Indianapolis Indians (postponed) After the Hens lost 7-0 on Tuesday night, Matt Manning was supposed to make his last rehab start before returning to the Tigers on Wednesday, but they were rained out in Indianapolis. They’ll play two on Thursday starting with Game 1 at 11:05 a.m. EDT. Presumably Manning will

Eduardo Perez left in the first with an arm injury because all is suffering, and despite a nice day from Spencer Torkelson, the offense was lifeless again. Oh and former Tigers’ prospect Isaac Paredes launched a pair of home runs while the homerless Austin Meadows sat on the injured list with an inner ear infection
